Pennywise IT

count the number of times he is described as a normal behaving, kid luring clown.

*After the Flood:*

It appears as a normal, friendly clown to Georgie.


*After the Festival:*

"Shining silver eyes and great big teeth, like the lion in the circus"

*Ben Hanscom Takes a Fall:*

The clown has balloons floating against the wind, casts no shadow, talks inside Ben's mind and looks down to conceil it's horribly mummified face.


*Georgie's Room and the House on Neibolt Street:*

- In Georgie's album: "a clown with Georgie Denbrough's face, his hair slicked back, his mouth a hideous grin full of bleeding greasepaint, his eyes black holes";

- At 29 Neibolt Street: "only now the devil was a hideously grinning clown whose face sweated white greasepaint, whose mouth curved up in a leering red vampire smile, whose eyes were bright silver coins."


*Cleaning up:*

Only Pennywise's voice is heard, but it is described as "the voice sounded choked and ancient... and still it crawled with corrupted glee."


*Walking tours:*

- To Ben: "His face was white with greasepaint. His mouth bled lipstick in a killer's grin. There were empty sockets where his eyes should have been";

- To Beverly: "held the leg of a child like a drumstick", "crooked, long-clawed fingers";

- To Richie: "twenty feet", "Red paint-bleeding lips parted to show teeth like fangs, each one coming to a razor point."

*Three Uninvited Guests:*

- "the face of the clown, its face a rotted pocked cheesy white, its eyes black holes, its red bloody grin turned up in a smile so obscenely ingenuous that it was insupportable";

- Few pages later it's the clown with the Doberman Pinscher head. Maybe not scary, certainly not normal.


*Third Interlude:*

No one sees the clown at the same place or with the same gun, and he's hanging in mid-air, or floating, without casting a shadow at all.

*The Album:*

- When Mike sees Pennywise during the parade: "big red smile, looked like blood", "kids didn't want to take balloons and some of them were crying";

- When the picture comes to life, little children who see the clown shrink away, "paint-bloody mouth".


*Eddie's Bad Break:*

"big leering grin, his skin livid with greasepaint and talcum powder, his eyes shiny as new quarters."


*Fourth Interlude:*

"comical sorta fella"


*In the watches of the night:*

Voice only to Mike on the phone, but incredibly racist and taunting;


*The circle closes:*

- To Audra: "There were black sockets where its eyes should have been, and when it's madeup lips stretched even wider in a grin, she saw teeth like razors. It held up a dripping, severed head."

- On the radio he talks with a "laughing, screaming voice".
